Using a glucose and starch concentration gradient. Uses the catabolic repression system to allow glue production. Have to test and find suitable starch and chemoattractant!!!!!!!! |
2. Sporulation, germination and secretion control
AbrB gene maybe a suitable gene to repress sporulation by overexpressing it. Can also activate antimicrobial peptides like TasA. Immune the concrete from future attack by concrete destroying bacteria? |
